This three part longform track is the debut release from Leeds based artists Marta Mist. It starts out as an immersive drone-based soundscape designed to lull the listener into a meditative state, before gradually giving way to a unfurling section of modern classical instrument manipulations. ‘Distance-Skeletal-Union’ certainly doesn’t stand still for its twenty-four minute duration – it is absolutely full of surprises, revealing layer upon layer of beautifully textured sound. The listening environment intensifies whilst remaining thoroughly compelling. It is interesting to listen to how Marta Mist draws influences from both the drone scene and the modern classical genre and manages to blend these together so seamlessly.
